Abstract
Recent studies document a small but significant risk of kidney failure after living kidney donation, but they lack data on early glomerular filtration rate (GFR) recovery and subsequent decline that might be linked to harm. Two complementary studies published in this issue overcome this limitation, showing that the GFR decline after recovery is slower than that in well-matched control groups of nondonors.
